UPDATE: The Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl 58 in Overtime on Sunday and soaked Andy Reid in Purple Gatorade during a commercial break! Purple was the Oddsmakers’ favorite and was used for the second year in a row by the Chiefs.

Not only has this tradition become a staple of Super Bowl Sunday, but betting on the Gatorade bath color is one of the most popular props available.
As the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their Super Bowl rematch, the odds have hit the board.

Orange you glad I made a pick?
By Jason Logan
Pick Made: 1/31
Every Super Bowl, I throw a flyer on clear/water. My thinking is sound: teams could have multiple colors of Gatorade on the sideline, but they’ll always have water. It’s why we’ve seen the winning coach drenched with a “clear” shower four times since 2001.
However, water hasn’t been the weapon of choice in a while. The last time H20 was hurled on the head coach was Super Bowl XLII in 2008 when Tom Coughlin and the Giants stunned the Patriots as 12-point underdogs. That has this year’s Gatorade Bath prop pricing water/clear as high as +1,200.
If you don’t want to wager on water, orange is promising. It’s been the most popular color for the Big Game tradition since 2001 and was last seen in 2020 when the Chiefs beat none other than the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. You can find Orange as high as +500.
BetMGM says orange Gatorade is the most popular pick among novelty prop bettors, drawing 29% of the ticket count and 35% of the handle. Will bookies take a bath on Orange? We can only hope.
Pick: Orange (+500 )
